Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni
and Teachings on Liberating Prayer

13 – 16 December 2024
Singapore, Village Hotel Katong

Liberating Prayer is not an ordinary prayer – It is like a text and has profound meaning. All Lamrim teachings – renunciation, bodhichitta, and correct view of emptiness are included in this prayer. I can say very few people understand Liberating Prayer. It definitely needs verbal commentary by a Teacher. If we understand and contemplate its meaning – it is the best method to develop faith in Buddha and his teachings, which is our spiritual life and the root of all Dharma realizations.

– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

For Buddhists, faith in Buddha Shakyamuni is their spiritual life; it is the root of all Dharma realizations. If we have deep faith in Buddha we shall naturally develop the strong wish to practise his teachings. With this wish we shall definitely apply effort in our Dharma practice, and with strong effort we shall accomplish permanent liberation from the suffering of this life and countless future lives.

Join us for this year’s Asian Festival in Singapore with Gen Kelsang Rabten, the National Spiritual Director of Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. During the Festival, Gen Rabten will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni, and share the special transmission and blessing of the Liberating Prayer.
